Economic Status of Older Asians in the United States 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Deanna L. Sharpe 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(4):570-583
Data from the 5-percent Census 2000 Public Use Microdata were utilized to examine the economic status of six Asian-only groups
in the United States aged 65 and older. Japanese Americans’ economic status emulated that of older Whites; whereas, older
Korean and Vietnamese economic status more closely resembled that of older Blacks. Regression results indicated that education,
household size, and duration of immigration were significantly and positively related to household income for most of the
Asian-only groups, supporting the theory that human capital, structural barriers, and acculturation all play a role in determination
of household income for older Asian Americans.

The financial viability of the nation’s Medicare and Social Security programs has come into question as older adult workers,
in particular members of the baby-boomer generation, begin to voluntarily retire. Obviously, any deterioration in the health
of older adults will inevitably increase pressure on the Medicare system. However, if older adults respond to changes in their
health by reducing their labor supply, than this will also increase demand for the Social Security system. Using data on married
and employed couples from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), this paper determines how the labor supply of each member
of a married couple is influenced by changes in the health, assets and medical expenditures of the other member of the couple. Therefore, adding to the extant literature as we determine how the labor supply of an individual responds
to health shocks visited on their spouse. We find that the labor supply of both males and females is influenced by their own
health shocks and health shocks suffered by their spouses.

By reducing risk of large out-of-pocket medical expenses, comprehensive social health insurance may reduce households’ motivation
to engage in precautionary behaviors such as saving, procurement of private insurance, and spousal labor-force participation.
We use the natural experiment provided by the 1995 introduction of National Health Insurance in Taiwan to examine these effects,
using pre-existing differences in access to health insurance (tied to the household head’s and spouse’s joint employment status)
to identify the effects of increasing insurance coverage. We find that comprehensive health insurance has a statistically
significant and large effect on household savings, but no significant effects on purchase of private accident insurance and
spousal employment.

The growth strategies of the listed exchanges affect the morphology of the securities industry as they are focused on the
consolidation of trading infrastructures and, on the other hand, on the diversification of the business model. New “conglomeral
exchanges” are characterized by a far-reaching production function. Since they integrate product-service lines which are complementary,
they potentially herald competitive distorsions limiting the investor’s freedom of choice and prejudicing the interest for
the best result from the investment.

We study the general class of two-player public-policy contests and specify the asymmetry condition under which a more restrained government intervention that reduces the contestants’ prizes has the “perverse” effect of increasing their aggregate lobbying efforts.

China’s previous contract laws had many contradictions and failed to meet the needs of China’s developing market economy.
Although some problems still need to be dealt with, the unified contract law is more advanced, systematic and plays an important
role in fostering and encouraging transactions.

This paper concerns the author’s countertransference reflections on her work with a gay adolescent who identifies with powerfully
destructive internal objects, including Hitler and the Monster. The author describes her countertransference inquiry through
which she experiences her own potential destructiveness in order to help accommodate her adolescent patient’s rejected and
disowned self states.

Labor Force Supply Decisions of Rural Low-Income Mothers 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Employment is crucial to the economic well-being of families. Using a multi-state sample of 412 rural low-income mothers,
our study identifies factors influencing two employment decisions they make: labor force entry and number of hours supplied.
A logistic regression model correctly predicted 80% of mothers’ work participation decisions. Employed mothers were older,
better educated, and less likely to suffer from depression; as well as, more likely to have a driver’s license and receive
child care assistance and the Earned Income Tax Credit. An estimated labor supply function explained 33% of the variation
in hours worked by the 208 employed rural mothers. Higher wages, availability of health insurance, and overtime benefits predicted
the number of hours they were willing to work.

Transference enactments play a central role in clinical supervision regardless of whether supervisors or supervisees consciously
recognize or acknowledge their presence. Supervisors who do recognize enactments better understand the core issues that interfere
with supervisees’ capacity to relate therapeutically to patients. Supervisory process is markedly enhanced when supervisors
consciously study manifestations of transference within the supervisory relationship and respond to them correctively. Corrective
interventions, whether purposeful or unintentional, expand supervisees’ relational and self-reflective capacities.

This paper investigates the channels through which maternal employment affects childhood obesity. We use time diaries and
interview responses from the Child Development Supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics which combines information
on children’s time allocation, children’s BMI, and mother’s labor force participation. We find some evidence that supervision
and nutrition play significant but small roles in the relationship between maternal employment and childhood obesity. Although
the difference in the effect of maternal employment varies by mother’s education, we find few differences in the mechanisms
by mother’s education.

We used the 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce to investigate the effects of work type on women’s lives. Specifically,
we hypothesized that self-employed women have better work–family fit than organizationally employed women. We also hypothesized
that as a result of better work–family fit, self-employed women would report better mental health than organizationally employed
women. The analysis shows limited support for the hypotheses. Of the different dimensions of work–family fit, self-employment
directly influenced only job to home facilitation. Work type had no direct influence on mental health. It appears that work
type may indirectly influence work–family fit and mental health through higher job satisfaction and increased autonomy.

Married Couples’ Time Allocation Decisions and Marital Stability 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), 1985–1992, are the data used to simultaneously examine the role of family stability
to both market and household time allocation for both spouses and the role of couples’ time allocation in their probability
of divorce. The study found that increases in the probabilities of divorce were only significantly correlated with decreases
in wife’s housework time. It was also found by the study that increases in the husband’s market work hours and increases in
the wife’s household work hours had negative effects on the probability of divorce.

This paper provides insight into the wage gap between lesbians and heterosexual women. Using data from the 2000 Decennial
Census, we find a lesbian premium that equals approximately 10% for women without a bachelor’s degree, and is nearly non-existent
for women with higher levels of education. These findings are consistent with proposition that the gap between lesbians’ and
heterosexual women’s commitment to the labor market narrows at higher levels of education. We also find that controls for
industry and occupation exert only a small effect on the gap between lesbian and heterosexual women’s wages.

Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sonia Oreffice 《Review of Economics of the Household》2007,5(2):181-207
I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household
bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased
and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion
and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent
with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly
used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence.

The Japanese tax system offers an opportunity to investigate the labor supply response of married women to the income tax
and the intrahousehold resource allocation mechanism, since the deductible amount from the husband’s income decreases as the
wife’s earnings increase. Using cross-section data, I structurally estimate the labor supply of married women under the piece-wise
linear budget constraint created by the Japanese tax and social security system. I find that the wife’s labor supply response
to her husband’s decreasing deduction tends to be greater than the response to her own income tax. This suggests that not
only the unitary model is rejected but also that female labor is allocated inefficiently within a family. Finally, this study
shows that the choice of household model affects the predicted effect of policy reform and that the currently proposed reforms
will have less of an effect on the labor supply of married women than previous studies claim.

This study based on a sample of 429 Beijing high school students shows that Chinese urban adolescents’ purchasing involvement
can be predicted by the adolescents’ self-esteem. Individuals’ self-evaluation motivates them to get involved in family purchasing
activities. This study suggests that Chinese consumer involvement is potentially shaped by both cognitive factors (e.g., self-esteem)
and social factors (e.g., media use). However, the study indicates that exposure to American mass media does not have significant
impact on adolescents’ family purchasing involvement. This finding raises possibilities for further investigation in the area.
Limitations and suggestions for future studies are provided.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has not traditionally utilized “use of self” to describe the clinician’s role in counseling
but much attention has been given to the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the components necessary and appropriate
for a strong working alliance. The CBT approach is discussed within the framework of previously articulated five uses of selves.
A case example is presented.

Using data drawn from the Current Population Surveys, this paper provides a consistent explanation for why the presence of
a working wife reduces the husband’s wage among managers, but increases the husband’s wage among non-managers. It is not husband’s
occupation per se but rather the distribution of husbands’ wage levels that underlies the working spouse penalty or premium.
Positive correlations in earnings between married couples that arise from assortative mating make the cross-wage effects of
the husbands’ wages on the wives’ hours of work first positive, then negative in cross-sectional data. The phenomenon of a
working spouse penalty/premium is simply the flip side of this relationship.

I present a framework of banking in which banks’ main role is to monitor their borrowers. Within this framework I analyze
the benefits of diversification and the threats of systemic risk and inter-bank competition. Diversification improves banks’
monitoring incentives. High systemic risk not only hampers banks’ monitoring incentives, but also makes diversification less
effective. I also show that competition lowers monitoring incentives. I match the insights of the analysis with the abundant
literature on the role of banks on the asset-side and provide some implications for recent developments in banking.

This paper explores the concept of adult attachment. Although attachment theory is now getting a great deal of attention,
there is not yet a clear picture of what it means to be attached in adulthood or what the clinical applications of the approach
might be. Using Bowlby’s distinctive ethological-evolutionary framework and updating it with findings from neurobiology and
attachment research, it is proposed there is an attachment behavioral system that operates throughout the lives of adults
and that this changes the way we understand our clients’ distress and carry out psychotherapy.
